COPY OF THE RECORD OF DEATHS OF THE 
FIRST CHURCH IN ROWLEY, MASS. 



COMMUNICATED Br GEO. B. BLODGETTE, A. M. 



So far as known no record of deaths was kept by the 
church until the decease of the Rev. Samuel Phillips, 
second minister, in 1696. This record was then begun 
by the Rev. Edward Payson, fourth minister, and con- 
tinued by him and his successor the Rev. Jedidiah Jewett 
to the time of Mr. Jewett's death, 1774. 

"A copy of the First Book of Burialls and Deaths of 
the town of Rowley" was printed in Vol. V of the His- 
torical Collections. It covered a period from the set- 
tlement of the town, 1639, to 1750. The names there 
printed are omitted here, except where there is some 
additional description which will aid genealogical research. 
Mr. Payson's#"ecord often gives the date one day later 
than the town record.
